+The nevrax.org site is well designed and has rather comprehensive docs.

+For instance, we don't have a roadmap and I think the users were a
+bit lost when the whole code was redesigned these last months. Posting
+the change logs in a regular basis is part of the solution, you should
+also talk about the directions, the problem encountered in your game
+development, ask for some debates on technical questions ... I know
+this is not easy.
+
+NeL is also a consequent piece of code, and most importantly an application
+framework : you don't choose to rely on it that easily ! :) People will
+surely consider NeL more massively after Nevrax's game release. You could
+also use Snowballs to make it an easy and agreable way to learn about
+NeL : for instance, a document explaining step by step how to start from
+a simple game design to a client/server application that does the job
+would be a very valuable information that would gain you a thankful
+audience. I believe this 'tutorial' thing would help with the very abstract
+and austere look of nevrax.org. The screenshots where a very good idea
+indeed, a lot of people coulnd't affort time and competence to compile
+NeL+SnowBalls. And while we are at it, what about packaging binaries ? :)
+'NeL-sdk', ready to code ...
+
+Enough said, let's checkout that CVS !
